PRESS QUOTES

SlideToPlay
... Helsings Fire is one of those puzzle games that does something completely original and is unbelievably entertaining.

Eurogamer
... With its insidious wit and gothic charm, Helsings Fire is a joyously original instant classic that iPhone owners should buy immediately.

TouchArcade
... Its one of the most unique games Ive ever played and is a true App Store gem. Surely only a creature of darkness would let this one slip by them.

TheAppera
... Helsings Fire reinvents the puzzle yet again with some light and dark dynamics I guarantee you have NOT seen yet. Prepare to be enthralled!

GamePro
... This is a game that would absolutely only work on the iOS platform, and its hands-down one of the best games on the App Store. It gets my highest recommendation.

ADDICTIVE PUZZLES
Helsings Fire features a brand-new puzzle mechanic never before seen: use the touch-screen to position Helsings torch to illuminate different combinations of monsters, then destroy them in the correct order using Rafftons supply of different tonics. The quick, rewarding puzzles make it a perfect game for brief play-sessions, but youll always want to play just one more level!

A HUGE, DARK UNIVERSE
With puzzles set across four worlds, with 30 different levels in each world, all featuring fifteen different monster types including four bosses, Helsings Fire provides an incredibly
rich, deep, and varied game experience. And because on replays puzzles are re-generated randomly, the game will always be fresh!

COMPELLING SETTING
The Victorian theme, Gothic setting, and engaging characters make Helsings Fire one of the most appealing story-oriented puzzle games released. Add to that the distinct minimalist style of the character portraits, the incredible dynamic lighting of the shadows cast by your moving torch, and an original soundtrack, and its clear that Helsings Fire presents an epic experience. Designed just for the iPhone, this is high-quality mobile gaming at its finest.

MULTIPLE MODES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
As if the 120 distinct levels werent enough, Helsings Fire also comes with additional Endless Survival and Online Bounty modes, for the bravest of the brave! And when youve stood against the horde as long as you can, you can post your scores on the fully-integrated Crystal leaderboards, earning achievements for your accomplishments and claiming bragging rights from your friends.

Dracula must be stopped. Raffton, take the tonics: its time to head into the Blight!

Pros and cons of Helsing's Fire app for iPhone and iPad

Helsing's Fire app good for

This game makes a lot of fun playing! Most of the levels are easy to solve, but there are also some hard ones. Im looking forward for an update with more levels and new opponents! Light my fire!
One of the best games on the Appstore. Too little marketing leaves it in the dark (pun intended).
In a market full of TDs and match-3s, this game was a breath of fresh air. Though it does take a little while for the difficulty to ramp up, the product is polished; everything from the graphics to the presentation and the gameplay is top-notch.
Very good puzzle game. I like that this game is different from other puzzle games Ive played. It seems that it is getting harder and harder to find games that do something different and do it well. This one is great. Great deal, unique, fun!
This is a really creative puzzle game with some funny dialogue as well a must buy
I could not put down this game until I finished it. Its got great graphics, mechanics, and wit. I would almost consider this my favourite game if only it was a little longer In the campaign.

Some bad moments

Puzzle ... Bof cest très redondant ce jeu, je vois pas le soi disant aspect puzzle ... A ne pas acheter
Just move your finger around till you find the right spot. Cant really deduce the correct spot with logic so its basically trial and error.
I know it hasnt seen an update in forever, but for the love of god just make it compatible for iOS 8 :( absolutely unplayable after the update which is a shame, this WAS one of my favourites, that is when I could still play it...
iPhone6では画面フリーズしてゲームどころでは?
Can you update for ios8 I just downloaded and cant see the level that Im playing.
This game doesnt work on my iPhone 5 running ios 8. Once you get through the intro when you click screen and its just blank. This should be taken out of the store.
